Under 2’s
As far as possible we will follow the same routines at nursery that you do at home.
All information about your baby’s day, from nappy changes to feeding and sleep, as well as the day’s activities, are given to you by your key-worker at the end of each session, they are also recorded throughout the day online. This is available for you to view and comment on at anytime, which is particularly useful on those busy mornings when you might forget to mention something you think we should know.
Under two’s need lots and lots of care and attention to feel secure and we ensure they get plenty.
Our under 2’s are cared for with a ratio of 1:3 or greater. Babies need a lot of practice to learn and refine their motor skills. This physical development, in turn, greatly effects cognitive development and reasoning.
The learning journey starts here, with a wide variety of learning play and lots of physical activities. The day is filled with a mixture of messy and tactile play and exploration, as well as music and singing. We have a large, vibrant garden for outdoor activities and periodically go for trips out to the park. Inside we operate a free flow system, allowing the babies to crawl or walk freely about the three different areas on the first floor.
They are never restricted to one room all day, allowing for a much wider range of choice and development opportunities for those little inquisitive minds.
At this stage, rest is a very important part of the day. We have a separate cot room for sleepers, as well as cozy, quiet areas for some calm or cuddle time.
When your baby is settling in, or at any time at all, you can ask for as much feedback as you would like or need to feel confident they are doing well at nursery.
Many of our new parents use the online system to see pictures or short videos whilst at work, it’s a great help, constant reassurance and permanent diary of their time with us at Wonder Years.
